  1. Past hour
  2. There's my former YC8 for sale in France here (with my photos and ad in English as Anthony kindly asked to use them): https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/annonce-2374016
  3. Just spotted a Schecter P5 on Rich Tone’s website, these have a 35in scale so that’s definitely one to add to the list.
  4. Selling this bass as I originally picked it up as a backup to my main touring 4 string, a white MM with all the same mods. They’re both great basses but I don’t have as much need for a direct duplicate as I used to and it’s too good to be sat around not being played. I had it re sprayed with this smokey black burst which maintains the look of the natural grain. It’s picked up some nicks and scuffs which I’ve pictured. I love the way it looks and sad to let it go. The neck has a beautiful flame to it and it and the fretboard are unblemished. Fitted with a John East MM preamp, hipshot drop tuner and schaller style strap locks, otherwise all original and in great condition. Will ship in UK for £30 or meet in London area. Open to offers and happy to answer any questions. Thanks! James

  5. On the original SuperP a ‘new circuit was employed. It had mid point detent which was wide open at the mid point. Turning the tone control back worked like a tone roll off- standard. Rolling it forward introduced a ‘mid scoop’ but it wasn’t really that practical.
  6. Thank you guys, I should add that weight is also a consideration. I bought a full fat US stingray back in March (4 string) and apart from realising ‘rays aren’t really for me, the thing is heavy, so it will probably end up in the for sale section in order to fund something P/5/tasty.
  7. Morning! Not something that I can do right now but I am gathering information on amps. I would like my tone to be largely shaped by the bass and pedal board. I currently have a laney amp stack after a spotting a good deal a while back. While the Laney RB9 is not a Class D does it add character or is it transparent? What options for ~300W class D amp heads stand out for balance of reliability and not shaping the tone? Am I best off repurposing a PA amp? Thanks.
  8. Instead of replacing it straight away, try putting on 2 or 3 trussrod washers. This will give you a few extra turns and usually solve the problem. It's a standard fix and costs only pennies (well, couple of quid probably). Just undo and take off the trussrod nut, place washers over the rod thread, then put the nut back on and slowly tighten it to the ballpark of where you had it before, gently flexing the neck straight as you do to take the load off the trussrod as you go. Fine tune from there. Hope that makes sense!
  9. Phil Jones Bighead Pro HA-2 In great shape, works perfectly but no longer needed. No USB charging cable or box. UK Shipping included

  10. I'll post more pics when the parts arrive. One pickup is not working, but found one on eBay USA for £80 inc shipping. Bridge, tuner bushings totalled £90. I only paid £60 for the Twin Caster and the body and neck are in superb condition, so not too bad.
  11. Thats crazy - I thought that was the purpose of Reverb not facebook marketplace!
  12. I bought Clarky’ TRex power supply, excellent item, well packaged, great comms and prompt delivery, what more do you want. Superb.
  13. I have been extremely lucky to have commissioned a Zemaitis bass, back in 1989 when Tony was still producing guitars from his quirky garage workshop. My 'Z' is also a fretless which makes it rarer than a rare thing. One (fretted) made the cover of Geddy Lee's 'Big Book of Bass' There are two phases of Zemaitis, the original made by the man himself, and the Greco manufactured current line. Never seen either for sale on here. Wouldnt mind a Greco era one but ony if is it wasnt LP style. Dont like LP syle basses.
  14. Paul bought a T Rex power supply unit off me and everything was hunky dory! Many thanks!!!!
  15. Best just swerve these tryers. There's a number of regulars on here that are clearly dealers or at least semi-pro buyers and resellers that always have basses sat for years on end. We all know who they are! There's 3 options really: ● Price high and wait for years to sell if at all. ● Price about right and prepare to sit on it while until person that wants what you have comes along. ● Price lower and sell sooner. The market often dictates price, so crazy prices just won't shift!
  16. You can usually pick up a TC BAM200, BQ250 or Warwick Gnome for sub £100 (and those TC heads are currently £120 on sale new) so there's just not much of a reason to spend a comparable amount on what is probably a considerably worse amp.
  17. Always seems to go down when we throw it in at the end of our set
  18. There’s a double bass bow that was sold on here for £50. It’s been overhauled by a specialist (max £300) and is now being offered for sale at £850 at various places (but not here). It’s not selling.
  19. Andertons has them as being in stock on July 7th........not that I'm longingly looking at the Bristol Fog finish and thinking about selling a bass to make room or anything..........
  20. I recently bought a Boss Chorus pedal off Paddy, excellent communication, well packaged and exactly as described, excellent Basschatter, highly recommended.
  21. Indeed.. Hobgoblin Birmingham were very patient and helpful to me in the past.
  22. Capiche. Thank you. It would appear that a change of amp is required; I can't recommend one, though (I'm a drummer...).
  23. Best amp I’ve ever played. Can’t afford, probably don’t need, but boy I wish I could get it! GLWS
  24. This was very tempting, but I’m really awaiting a Noguera YC semi fretless to appear ….
  25. That's a shame - a lost sale for them, and off-putting for you. About 20 years ago, I visited Hobgoblin in Rathbone Place, with my 7 year old daughter. They let her try every instrument in the shop (even a Low Whistle - the holes were so big that her fingers went inside them!). She eventually settled on the violins, and told me that her two favourites "played good and sounded nice". They happened to be the two most expensive in the shop, and the chap behind the counter was so impressed with her technique and her ear, that he offered to let her borrow his own personal violin while we were looking for a ¼-size instrument for her. Hobgoblin - YMMV.
  26. Dont think Ive ever turned the master down once setup after sound chk. Seems an odd problem to have.
